The Selection: The Shipowner’s Legacy | Kountouriotou, Chios (Ref: 517)
Standing as a testament to the island’s golden age of maritime commerce, this exclusive 1923 neoclassical mansion on Kountouriotou Street is one of the most significant architectural landmarks in the center of Chios. Spanning 707 sq.m. on a 702 sq.m. plot, the building—historically the residence of prominent shipowning families—merges the artistic flourishing of the early 20th century with modern high-yield institutional utility. This is a ”jewel” asset of rare investment value, currently serving as a key operational node for the University of the Aegean.

The building’s presence is defined by an imposing neoclassical exterior and an interior of unsurpassed elegance. The halls are adorned with original hand-painted murals and architectural flourishes that carry the aura of another era, preserved during a comprehensive renovation in 2010. The layout is distributed over four levels, currently configured into 35 high-specification office and academic spaces. Strategically, the property generates a stable, institutional-grade monthly income of €4,000, anchored by its long-term university tenancy, ensuring an immediate and secure return on investment.

Technically, the mansion is fully modernized to support high-demand professional use. It features structured wiring, a central oil heating system, multi-level air conditioning, and a professional loading ramp. For ease of access, the building is fully compliant with disability accessibility standards and includes an internal staircase and secure alarm systems. The materiality remains aristocratic, featuring original stone and wood floors paired with modern aluminum frames and double-glazed windows to ensure thermal and acoustic efficiency.

The estate’s exterior is a rare urban sanctuary in the heart of the city, just 200 meters from the center and 300 meters from the sea. The private 702 sq.m. courtyard includes a traditional orchard, a stone-built cistern, and a private well—elements that define the traditional Chian ”Archontiko.” With private parking and proximity to the airport, this property represents a sophisticated acquisition for the investor seeking a balance of historical prestige and fixed financial performance. Price: €1,100,000.
